Two career criminals, Louis Gara (John Hawkes) and Ordell Robbie (Mos Def), catch wind of his scam and figure if they hold Mickey for ransom, Frank would have no choice but to pay up a million dollars. Except, what they don’t plan on is that Frank's head over heels for his sex-kitten mistress, Melanie (Isla Fisher), and doesn’t want his wife back.
